What does that have to do with anything (especially to people who aren't from the same neck of the woods at you)

I've never watched it but was under the impression it was supposed to be a talent contest not a "spot the local" competition. It's like the annoying idiots who kept those two useless brothers on the last series of X Factor purely 'cos they were Scottish, despite the fact they were clearly bland and charismaless

It genuinely depresses me that in a time when travel and communication links are so much better than ever before, people are so narrow-minded and small-minded to even consider where someone comes from as a factor for voting.

Only seen the last couple of weeks of it though. Reminds me of being about 8 and going to see the show and singing the songs in primary school. I think the curly-haired fella will swing it (but it's frightening how young those other two are!)
